Many Republican states receive more federal funding than they pay

Republicans love to rail against “socialism.” But of the states that receive more federal funding than they contribute, 70% are Republican. Of the states that contribute more than they receive, 80% are Democratic. Republicans are fine with state socialism — when it benefits them! pic.twitter.com/fwbrMdVywf

GOP role as the freeloader party is crystal clear. First it was states w/GOP govts being net takers from the federal treasury. 1% & corporations propped up w/unfair tax breaks. Now, its letting Dems do the work of controlling COVID, getting vaccines, etc & GOPers reap benefits.
